What a great weekend. I finally made it to a regular AA meeting. Now the big challenge is to share. I contanstly rehearse what I plan to say, so I think it is time. After all, if I can't overcome this fear, how will I be able be a fun, productive and loving father. I have to learn how to talk and this place is a start.
I plan to attend meetings every Saturday and I know once I share I'll be on my way. This journey is starting to look prettier and prettier. It all starts with being and staying sober. I can't wait until my NAMI class starts and therapy is tomorrow. I really look forward to it. This is another huge step...
Have a great week!!
Thanks, I will have a great week (hopefully).
Congrats for taking the steps to A.A. and NAMI therapy. I never had a problem with alcohol, but I did abuse street drugs. They are both forms of "self - medication".
It's a big issue. So many people with a mental illness self medicate, that it's gotten out of control. In my home town, people are treated for drug and alcohol addictions by the same govt body that treats mental illness.
I wish you much success.
